When they did their job on the 7RS, they didn't make it wider in the rear because it was wide enough, they only widened the front. Coincidentally, isn't this what Porsche is doing with the 7.2 RS?

I mean of course they want to make money, but if it's by doing well thought out performance upgrades with real benefits, what's wrong with that? Don't you have their exhaust (alright it's really RS tuning, but still)?

You may be right, and I do like their stuff,

I don't know if i subscribe to the increased rolling stock front and rear. They also have a ridiculously modified suspension.

But so do I and I'll go toe to toe with any 6 or 7 with 245/305 any day of the week.

I'm good friends with the cargraphics distributor i'll ask him and report back.

Cool, I'm interested.

btw ever post pictures of your car? Seems like you have quite the setup. Someday I'd like a tweaked 6gt3 in the garage.

My planned solution to the understeer is twofold. first 235 in the front is not enough rubber would like to get to 255's in the front. Part two is running a stiffer spring in the rear so you can go back softer on the rear sway. go stiffer on the front sway. this should give the car more balance. I have learned how to deal with the understeer in terms of trailbrake or be breathing off the throttle but as others have said you are going slower under both corrections.
